Tough, tough times in goal for Boston.

Yesterday, we passed along word that Malcolm Subban had been recalled from AHL Providence -- on an emergency basis -- after Tuukka Rask missed practice with an injury, and Anton Khudobin was hurt during that same practice.

Today, another recall.

Zane McIntyre has also been brought up on an emergency basis, the B’s announced. They also announced that Khudobin would miss the next three weeks with an upper-body ailment, meaning that -- for tonight’s home date at Minnesota -- it will be Subban and McIntyre as the club’s goalies.

Subban will get the start, and McIntyre will back up.

Subban, the club’s first-round pick in 2012, has had a nightmare start to the year in Providence, going 0-3-1 with a 4.50 GAA and .846 save percentage.

“I don’t know if he’s where he wants to be or where we want him to be,” head coach Kevin Dean said, per the Journal.

McIntyre, the 24 year old taken in the sixth round in 2010, has fared much better, going 1-0-0 with a .977 save percentage and 0.44 GAA. To be fair, he’s only faced 43 shots in Providence this year.

McIntyre had already been called up earlier this season -- over the weekend, when Rask was initially lost to injury. Boston’s No. 1 netminder isn’t believed to be out long term (head coach Claude Julien said he’s not worried about Rask’s health situation), but that won’t make tonight’s scenario any less worrisome.
